Just how important is organic personal care?

Just how important is organic personal care? Approximately 60-70% of the products we put on our skin are absorbed by the skin. This includes all synthetic or toxic chemicals that these products may contain. Many of these chemicals have the potential to interfere with our body’s biological functions; many others create allergic reactions – sometimes severe. Cosmetics pose a special threat to women – the primary consumers of cosmetics - and many cosmetic products are known to contain harmful ingredients – particularly hydroquinone, parabens (preservatives), phthalates (used in fragrances), nitrosamines, formadehyde, and acrylamide.CHECK OUT SOME AMAZING SOAP HANDCRAFTED FROM SMALL BATCHES ALL NATURAL FINDMORE ABOUT WHY ORGANIC AND NATURAL!
